How does the "Limit x" option of the "Stroke" tab work?

Question

Adobe Illustrator

Answer 1

The miter limit determines how the joint looks at sharp corners when miter join is selected. Value from 1 to 500, default is 4. This means that if the joint size is greater than the outline thickness of 4x (quadruple, in this case), it is truncated according to the Bevel Join type (cut joints, the third icon when choosing the type of joint in the Corner item) .
